lyrics

It's a good thing you never trust a knife,
or in some fit of madness, you might undo your arteries.
So much for a love of life...
but if ire saves you someday in an alley or gallery,
we'll call it some vision, derivative as it is.
Bidden or--more often--unbidden,
someone's god is here.

About the everlasting life:
that promise, like a sweater, is unravelling at the seams.
You put it on a winter night. If it saves you
someday from the loneliness and the freeze,
we'll call that sooome knitting! (Prohibitive as it is.)
Bidden or--more often--unbidden,
someone's god is here.

Reconciled to take the fables to heart,
chaste in the virgin day.
Self-exiled to some small manger: a heart
that beats itself away.
